Suspects in 'honor' killing deny charges

[oberliner]

HEBRON (Ma’an) -- Four men accused of the honor killing of 20-year-old Ayah Ibrahim Baradiyya, whose remains were found in May 2011, told a jury on Monday that their confession was obtained through torture.

The four men, an uncle and three other relatives of the victim, were attending the first court hearing in the murder trial of the young student who went missing in April 2010.

“I am guiltless and I have nothing to do with this charge which I denounce. What happened was that detectives tortured me and broke my jaw to make me confess," the victim's uncle said in court.

"I was not in Surif when the victim disappeared. She had asked me to help her get married to the young man she was in love with, and I am innocent of this crime.”

In the confession, the uncle had said:

"On Tuesday, 20 April 2010, when Ayah was heading to Hebron University, we took her in the trunk. She was shouting loudly, so one of my friends sprayed her with gas and she fainted. I drove to the Khallat Salman area where we tied a rope around her body and dropped her into the well."

2. What a weird response

This is the I/P forum. Stories about Israelis and Palestinians behaving badly here are posted on a regular basis in pretty equal numbers.

You will find as many, if not more stories about crimes committed by Israelis and Jews throughout the forum.
